The upgrade:
first time running the updater
I pressed the update the phone was frozen, had to press the power button long to reboot.
second time running the updater
it rebooted into a black screen with super small boot entries
third time running the updater
it finally worked, but the phone became so hot …
Conclusion:
This was not the best user experience,
Android 6
first usage: Is this still my Fairphone2 ?
Missing features:
the most important for me
pressing the volume button gave me an option to silent to phone for some time, one hour, 2 …
now there is the do not disturb function, but to go there I have to unlock the phone, swipe down, press the button …
Home screen, the Fairphone setting was good, how can I have this back.
Now I have the homescreen on the left, each screen on the right, but what if I want 3 screens and the middle one should be the home screen, impossible?
The additional button hardware still without function if the phone is not unlocked.
Conclusion:
positive
I have Android 6 what is somehow good, to get software updated for the phone.
negative
The update procedure made me full of fear, after the first and second failure I was close to not do it
The changed menu widget functionality, … I do not want this, if I have a feature like ‘silent for 1h’ what I need 2 or 3 times a day, and this is gone, it is a very negative user experience.
Summary
I am not unhappy, but would prefer a nicer weekend experience with my phone.
and I wonder if there is any chance to get some of the functions back, and if the additional hardware button ever gets a useful functionality
